100.
Ah, receiving greetings in advance as a saint!
‘How thrilling!’
Iris smiled brightly from within her veil.
She had prepared this white dress long ago. The saint’s position was originally Iris’s, after all.
‘The veil too!’
As for her hair, she could pin it up and wrap it with several layers of jeweled veils so it wouldn’t show.
‘How long have I been attending the Central Temple?’
She knew all the shortcuts and secret passages of this place.
Meanwhile, Ramio, who had accompanied Iris, was anxious to the point of madness.
“Sister, have you really gone crazy?”
“Shh. Lower your voice.”
“If Grandfather and Brother Kuern really find out…!”
Iris and Ramio were actually supposed to be confined at Tillard Manor.
‘You two, don’t even dream of attending the saint’s proclamation ceremony.’
Kuern had firmly driven that point home.
However, Iris widened her eyes.
“You should speak properly, Ramio. It’s not about getting caught, but preparing in advance for the moment when the truth is revealed.”
The Oracle in the form of a demon had made a prophecy!
‘Wasn’t she a saint?’
Those words were the only lifeline for Iris, who had fallen into despair.
Proof that Lillian was a false saint!
‘The Creator God who even sends down lightning for Controllers…! There’s no way He would overlook this falsehood!’
And the moment the truth is revealed.
Naturally, Iris had to appear here to embrace everyone.
“So you go and try to break through the barrier, even just a little.”
So the cursed Oracle could enter!
Right now, the temple grounds had devices set up to detect demons and heretics.
It was twice as strong as what Lillian had used during her engagement ceremony.
Ramio nodded with an anxious expression and left,
because Iris’s words, armed with desperate faith, somehow gave him inexplicable trust.
Iris headed toward the side passage where she could secretly look down at the hall.
But before she could even reach it, a priest came running breathlessly.
“Saint. You were here!”
“…!”
Iris hastily covered her mouth with her wide sleeves.
“Ah… yes. What’s the matter?”
“Oh, thank goodness! I’m sorry, but could you spare just a few drops of blood?”
“What? Why?”
Iris was wary. She knew the proclamation ceremony procedures well, but this was the first time for such a case.
The priest looked distressed.
“Actually, the holy grail that was to receive the Saint’s sacred blood is currently being repaired—”
At this rate, they would show the embarrassing sight of blood dripping in front of the attendees!
“So the Grand Cleric said we should skip that procedure and handle it among ourselves!”
“Uh, really…?”
Iris nodded.
‘…It would be good for me to take the saint’s oath in advance, wouldn’t it?’
Anyway, the oath Lillian takes will be invalid!
“Alright. Be careful not to make such mistakes in the future.”
“Yes, Saint!”
Iris generously gave her blood.
* * *
The imperial family members who would confirm the birth of the saint gathered in the VIP seats.
The Empress, and Kail.
Kail’s face was rigidly hardened, but his heart was noisy with tension.
Lillian. That woman was entering.
“…Ha.”
With a white veil hanging invisibly over the bridge of her nose…
While giving off a deep lily fragrance.
The saliva in his mouth dried up completely.
But seeing the man standing next to her made his liver reflexively turn cold.
Evren looked at his half-brother with narrowed eyes.
Kail…
True to Pavil nature, he didn’t even seem to think of hiding his eyes glistening with greed.
‘That stupid plan, at least hide it properly so it doesn’t show.’
How dare you? Don’t make me laugh.
Evren forced an eye-smile toward Lillian.
“Saint. Please lift your veil for a moment.”
The veiled head tilted left and right.
“Hm? Now?”
“Yeah. We haven’t finished our ten days yet.”
“Ah. Oh. Right, okay.”
Lillian lifted her white veil.
A pale face was revealed from within the veil.
However, unlike usual, she was keeping her eyes slightly downcast.
What could be the problem?
Evren kissed her cheek.
Not just once, but this time alternating between both cheeks.
Lillian’s face became warm as if it had become a small heart.
“Congratulations on your proclamation, my fiancée.”
“Oh my, thank you, Your Highness.”
Empress Robellia couldn’t stand it anymore and muttered.
“Such vulgarity…”
However, instantly the hall was filled with chirping-like exclamations.
“Oh my, oh my, oh my. I never thought I’d see such a thing.”
“Well, you’ve only been engaged for a short time! You both keep having good fortune.”
“That’s right. What a good time.”
“I never knew those two could be so adorable, hoho.”
Wasn’t the temple originally just a solemn place?
People were delighted, saying that living their lives, they got to see such ticklish scenes even in the temple.
Kail silently ground his teeth, but recalled what Caspian had said.
‘I’ve won over Priest Marcel, Your Highness. He will bring the holy grail to hold the saint’s blood.’
‘When that comes out, should I speak up?’
‘Yes, that’s right.’
And just then.
A long procession appeared, carrying the holy grail containing the Saint’s covenant blood.
‘That’s Priest Marcel at the front!’
Kail rose from his seat.
“Lillian. Congratulations on being proclaimed as the Saint.”
“Oh my. Congratulations from the Second Prince himself. This is so meaningful, isn’t it?”
“You will become a treasure of the Empire from now on, so isn’t it only natural? Therefore, new Saint.”
Kail inhaled the maddening lily fragrance.
“As a sign that you will look after the Tarandia Imperial House, won’t you check compatibility with all members of our family?”
“…All members, you say.”
“My elder brother, the Empress who is my mother. And myself as well.”
Those watching this situation widened their eyes in surprise.
Huh?
“Right here, right now…?”
“Was there such a procedure?”
The Saint selection was an event that happened once every few decades. There was no way anyone could properly remember it.
And though the Empress is included-.
“The Saint is the Crown Prince’s fiancée…”
“No, but it wouldn’t hurt to check once!”
“What if there’s someone with higher compatibility-!”
Since it’s still just an engagement, breaking it off might be possible…?
Priest Marcel bowed his head to Lillian.
“Now, Saint. If you could share your blood with me-.”
“Ah, excuse me! Look here!”
“-I’ll help confirm it together…?”
Priest Marcel looked bewildered.
I’m the one responsible for the holy grail, aren’t I?
Why is some other guy coming with a glass vial containing blood drops?
“The Saint has already provided her sacred blood in this!”
The priest who received Iris’s blood… ‘Jared Russell’ playing that role grinned wickedly.
If a real priest stepped forward, he might be killed by the Second Empress or the Tillard Family.
So Gerard, whose ‘real face’ wasn’t known, agreed to help.
“Second Prince, please check this way!”
This was also revenge for nearly dying from that ability landmine long ago!
* * *
Iris, who was watching this scene, swallowed her hiccup.
‘Why… why is Prince Kail.’
Why does he want to know what numbers will come up with Lillian?
With those eyes showing he desires Lillian…?
Her heart pounded thump, thump.
I never loved Kail. I often played around casually with Carkin too.
But this isn’t right.
Even knowing I’m confined at Tillard Manor, he never contacted me once…
Then the priest announced.
“100… It came out as 100.”
Waaaah!
The audience screamed in surprise.
“100!”
“Did he say 100!?”
I couldn’t stand it anymore.
That’s mine!
Iris frantically ran down the corridor.
No way. Not only is the Saint position mine, but the Crown Princess position is mine too!
I can’t let Lillian take anything more from me…!
Iris slammed the door open.
The noble ones who had been granted entry to this Inner Sanctum instantly turned to look at Iris.
“That, that’s my blood!”
“…!”
“I’m the one who’s Prince Kail’s destined partner!”
